(Note 2): In order to capture the business senario of Japanese Companies in India more precisely, all the Business Establishments (except franchaisee and dealer ) irrespective of regular-basis Japanese staffs are taken into consideration Oct. 2013 onwards. Consequently, some areas show a significant increase in numbers. (Note 3): The increase in the number of Japanese business establishments during the one year (October 2013 to October 2014) under the survey is very large, mainly due to the following reasons: In case where a Japanese company forms a JV with an Indian partner, the newly formed JV will also have the already established direct branch offices of that Indian partner, which will result in the immediate increase of the total number of business establishments. There are several such cases found during the survey, especially in insurance and transport sectors. There were also quite a number of Japanese business establishments which have not been captured in our previous surveys. (Note 4): The number of establishments in Delhi and Haryana is mentioned seperately for 2013,2014 and 2015.
